[Q] New Owner - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got a Incredible 2 days ago, came from a Eris. Loved the Eris and I was running KaosFroyo. Loved the way it ran. First day I had the DInc I rooted it. Second day im trying out ROMs and im on skyraider vanilla so far and im not feeling it too much. So im wondering if anyone came from the Eris and what roms they would recommend. Im not that into sense based ones though.

I did the same exact switch except I came from tazzfroyo and went to skyraider. Once I spent like a day or two on that I didn't feel it so much either. I switched to cyanogenmod nightly builds and haven't regretted it since. Good luck and happy flashing!

Thanks for the response
Does CM have any issues with Wifi Tether?
Can the camera use all 8mp and 720p video?
im leaning towards CM right now but without wifi tether i can make the jump

Its broke in 6.1 but if you flash a different kernel or an earlier version, you shouldn't have a problem. I'm on nightly 10/24 with no complaints.

MIUI! It will ease your transition to Android. Not to mention it is one of the smoothest and fastest ROMs out right now.
Myn's Warm 2.2 for a great themed Sense ROM or CM6.1 if you want close to stock Android. If you want a Sense ROM with very few changes from stock, Fresh 3.4 is an excellent choice.

Just new to rooting myself. I purchased my Evo back in November, but it took me until now to root my phone. I actually researched these and other forums since July before purchasing my phone in November and finally rooting last week. I'm glad to report that all went well. I'm now running myn's Warm TwoPointTwo (RLS5) with Konikub's Aloysius 5 theme that looks awesome. I also have the Unrevoked splash screen and wrx4memp’s Warm 3 Boot Animation on startup. Thanks to the developers of these forums for all they do.

Confessions of a ROM and Kernel junkie

I don't know what's wrong with me.
I have 5 different ROM's on my SDCard.
Cyanogen
Athena
Redemption
Redeptive rEVOlution
Skyraider 3.5
Why can't I just stick with one of them ?
And the kernels. My God, the kernels. I'm losing track..
Now as soon as Athena sorts out FB Sync, I think I'm staying there.
Until.....aaaaaagh
Just so you know for next time, this should be in general.
We all get like that I started themeing a rom myself and since then I've stuck with it.

I also have 5:
Skyraider 3.5
Myns 2.2 rls. 4
Uber Z Rom
Myns 2.2 rls. 5 beta
and OMGB - current ROM.
I can't pick one either.
I have omgb on my SD card and I periodically use it for a day every now and then but I just always seem to use it on days where I need a 100% working rom. Rather annoying how that works out.

My nandroids are

Incredibly reengineered
Still have a spot open for one for the weekly rotation.
I believe I am normal. Those who rooted their phones only to run one rom are not.

I have a few:
Miui
Skyraider vanilla
Lithium
Skyraider sense
I like ihtfp's offerings so I run with skyraider sense. As of lately I haven't switched much but I will switch to Athena once he provides a black status bar and fixes FB sync. Can't wait!

You are not alone! I've got 7 ROMs on mine, CM6.1, Ruby 2.0.0, Lithium Mod, ShadowROM, MIUI, Evervolv GB and OMGB. I use invisiblek #21 for all of them, love the battery life.
Redemption, Redemptive and Carbonite Z & S. I am getting ready to try out Magnolia next.

Thank you for spelling "junkie" and "kernel" correctly, that puts you in the 99th percentile of all Android Junkies
You guys have your nandroids labeled? I always thought I was a big no-no to change the names of your back ups. I would have more if I could do that!

Will we ever get official GB on Dinc ?

I have to admit, I'm loving the nightly builds of Cyanogen, but I am sorely missing HD video capture (especially with a hilarious toddler around)
So for now, I seem to be jumping between CM7 and Athena.
I would love for GB to have 720p video capture, but I guess that's not going to come about until we have an official HTC sense release from Verizon, correct ?
What's the likelihood of the devs being able to get 720p running on stock build ? Is it ridiculously difficult to code ?
It will be forever
But yes

Well there are rumors the evo will get it so if they do well have a port in like 2.3 minutes.

OMGB has 720p doesn't it? If not, I'm pretty darn sure OMFGB has it. OMGB is the stock GingerBread version and OMFGB is the customizable/customized one.

Any rom recommendations ?

So my sister hasn't updated her OG Evo ever since she rooted it, ( FreshRom 2.2? from about a year ago I believe.) and I was hoping that a native Evo 4g member would recommend me a good stable rom. I was going to do look for a rom myself but people weren't kidding about the massive amount of development the Evo has . I was thinking of getting her the FEARMEde/Rhyme Sense 3.5 Rom since I am currently running the Hydro Sense 3.5 Rom on the 3D, and its pretty smooth and flashy. Thanks in advance.

[Q] Incredible 2 HD RLS 1.1 sense 3.5 GB 2.3.5

Has anybody had any luck with this ROM? I'd love to search the forums for it, but for some reason I am no longer seeing a search option.
Incredible 2 HD RLS 1.1 sense 3.5 GB 2.3.5
I THINK YOU CAN GET IT AT themikmik.com think its one of newts roms
--- head slap --- the link above is from mikmik. Thanks for the information, but my real question was whether or not anyone had luck running it.
i ran it for awhile, good rom, no problems with it when i ran it, i still have it on the sdcard as back up
I didn't have any luck while running it, but I ran it for about a month and liked it.

HD was pretty solid. You might also want to check this one out. Its similar but more tweaks and its by the same dev. Performance was about the same. http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?10468-MikRunny-v1-01-Sense-3-5-GB-2-3-5-12-24-2011
